#Socialmedia be like let's use eye dialect because it's the social convention lest not being outrageous enough in having something to prove makes us seem like enemy sympathizers. For example, let's say "Ze Cram-it-in-lin fightZ becauZe it likeZ to cram its 💩 into innocent women" or some absurdity like that. People are so stupid that if you just say "the #Kremlin fights because it likes to," people will be like:

"You're taking the side of the Kremlin."/gen #smh

Is #Web2.0 on its way out? (One can only hope) The trend is towards increased proprietization. Are there enough unenlightened millennials to keep Corporate Net going? #internet #corporate #socialmedia #reddit

Evidently Elon Musk is neither able to realize he made mistakes nor to ever learn from mistakes he made.
Without any regard for responsibility & humans involved & affected, he's turning the roulette of his personal whims in his $44 billion egomania casino. Rien ne va plus!

'Overreliance on existing worldviews as a yardstick for truth can lead to confirmation bias... Alternately, when users struggle to accept a claim as truthful or untruthful, they enter what researchers term the dialectic stage where they attempt to determine its veracity. Social media leverages cognitive dissonance and hijacks the dialectic phase, complicating users’ evaluation of a claim.'

So one of the things that pisses me off about #socialmedia is the lack of #attribution. Do you know how many times I see #Instagram posts which are screenshots of tweets or tweets which are videos from #TikTok. The developers have the ability to make it so their software automatically searches and finds the source. Look at #YouTube for an example, but they won't. It's the same with #memes, you see people reposting memes when it should link to the original.

This is where it all began, if you’re interested in the history of the #fediverse and #socialmedia. The Well was the very first ‘virtual community,’ in fact, a Well member coined the term. You may have heard about it, or if you’re as old as I am, even been around when it began. What you might not know is that its users bought it in 2012, and it still exists in all its historic glory - even more relevant today. While modern social networks burn, The WELL endures https://www.well.com/

I've seen a couple of posts on my TL about #SocialMedia arguments or family members/friends with #RightWing views.

The thing is: You can engage with these people, debate them, or you can exist as proof of something, but you are just one minuscule voice in a sea of billionaire-owned #media.

That is #news outlets but also #PR companies that push right wing agenda.

#Mastodon #security

Evidently, there is a security flaw in Mastodon (see screenshot). It's not prudent to trust unknown admins with our #data.

Therefore, how do we make the #Fediverse admins more accountable? Or, should the fediverse be developed to be more user-friendly - so that we can connect directly to the network without having to depend on servers? (that is do-able. e.g., p2p networks)

#software #SocialMedia #data #hack #admin #justice #activism #equity
Say no to #BigBrother #network #surveillance or unjust #admin #employers #corporations #corruption

A screenshot. As readers can see by this screenshot - on the server climatejustice.social there were 250 "followers" on my account. As I recall, there were also hundreds of "follows". But, after suspension, the list now only shows 12 follows.

So, what's happened? Has the admin sabotaged the data? Effectively, now the account has been suspended (data deleted! without warning or any written reason provided). Therefore, I can't transfer the 250 followers to another server. 

Evidently, a security flaw in Mastodon. It's not prudent to trust unknown admins with our data.

All the #tech parents I know, and I’m one of them, run a very strict control regime on their own kids around #socialmedia and #screentime.

How are the parents who don’t understand how addictive tech runs circles around the #developing #brain of their kids supposed to be up to the task?

Conservative forces like to say it’s up to the parents, but isn’t that more like saying ”survival of the fittest”? I understand it’ll give the kids of already rich a leg up, so maybe it all makes sense.

IMO, the Surgeon General's scaremongering over kids and social media is part of an anti-encryption push by world authorities.

If the powers that be convince the public that social media harms kids, they can establish a system where internet users must identify themselves under the guise of proving they're not children.
